Page 4: Installation Of The Heater
1. Remove the plastic wrapping from around the heater. 2. Choose the place for the heater according to the required safety distances (page 6). 3. Consider the location of the air vent, thermostat and control unit (see instructions for the control unit.) 4. Adjust the legs of the stainless steel base so it is completely level. 5. Remove the base plate from the underside of the heater and connect the five pole electric cable to the connection strip inside the element box according to the circuit connector diagram (page 5). 6. Lead the cable through the junction box on to the conrol unit and affix according to the instructions in the control unit. 7. Test that all the heating elements function properly. If all the resistors heat up, close the element box panel. If problems occur, contact the manufacturer's technical support. 8. Place the lower part of the stainless steel mesh frame around the heating elements, so that it is an equal distance from all the heating elements. Check that the heating elements stand up straight. If they have been bent, carefully straighten them. 9. PILING OF THE STONES: Wash the stones before piling. Detach the two stainless steel mesh frames from one another (excluding the Pillar IKI 7,5 kW heater model). Pile stones to the lower part of the frame. Once the lower part has been filled with stones, reattach the upper part of the frame. Pile stones to the fill the upper part. The heating elements should be carefully covered. Please make sure that elements make NOT contact with each other or with the heater frame. Olivine, olivine‐ dolerite and peridotite stones are recommended, in sizes smaller than 10 cm in diameter. The stones should not be placed too tightly together allowing for free airflow between the stones. In communally or publicly used saunas we recommend the use of ceramic Kerkes stones around the heating elements (www.kerkes.fi). Kerkes stones support and help preserve the resistors and they do not disintegrate prematurely due to high temperature changes. Note that the use of soapstone and natural stones is allowed only on the outer edges and on the top of the heater. 10. We recommend the use of safety railings around the heater. However, the stainless steel mesh frame does not over‐heat the way ordinary steel‐cased heaters do. 11. The surface of the stones sinks in a little after the heater is in use. Frequently check that the heating elements do not become exposed. If this should happen, pile in more stones. The disintegration of the stones depends on the type of stones and the frequency of use.

Control unit Refer to the separate instructions for installation provided by the manufacturer of the control unit. Sauna‐room temperature sensor and over‐heat prevention fuse The sensor should be located ‐ to a wall: 10 cm down from ceiling 10‐30 cm from outer edge of heater ‐ to the ceiling: ‐ ‐10‐30 cm from outer edge of heater ‐ minimum of 1000 mm distance from undirected vent for replacement air, or minimum of 500 mm distance from the air vent directed away from the sensor. The temperature restrictor switches off the power if the temperature in the sauna climbs dangerously high (139 degrees Celsius) due to a malfunction.

Page 8: Requirements For Water Quality
Hardness: most important substances Precipitates Mn: <0,05 mg/l are manganese (Mn) and lime, i.e. Ca: <100 mg/l calsium (Ca) Chlorinated water Risk to health Forbidden Seawater Fast corrosion Forbidden Instructions for use Before bathing for the first time, heat up the heater once to burn off the protective oil solvents. Be careful to air out the sauna room efficiently afterwards. The heating time is about 45–75 minutes depending on the size of the room and its ventilation. Recommended temperature for IKI stone pillars is 50–70 degrees. Pouring water on the heater increases temperature and humidity. You can control the heat and humidity by pouring the water to different parts of the heater. The temperature should be set to the desired range from the temperature knob in the control unit. Check that the heating elements do not become exposed as the stones shift about due to heat expansion. Check the condition of the stones once a year, and clean and replace as necessary. Do not throw water to the heater when there are people nearby: the steam coming off the heater is burning hot. Do not throw too much water on to the heater. Maximum amount is half a litre at a time. Trouble‐shooting If the heater or sauna room does not heat up, check that: The power is on ... -
